Precision detection for maximum web guiding accuracy

BST sensors form the foundation of precise web guiding and consistent production quality. They detect edges, lines, contrasts and even objects with exceptional accuracy. The technology is providing the reliable basis for perfect control. BST sensors deliver precise measurements whether film, paper, metal, or textile.

Using advanced ultrasonic, infrared, and camera technologies, BST sensors ensure reliable detection across all material types. The result: greater process stability, improved efficiency, and superior product quality.
